I think this is an example of using slow trials as a nonjudicial weapon. The defendant did not break the law and isn't likely to be convicted (at least not on appeal), but they can hold him in jail for months because they got mad at his Facebook post.
Had the exact same thought. How is there not a reasonable maximum time you can hold someone pre-trial? As always, rich offenders walk free.
> Bushart did not elaborate, but the context seems clear: Why should I care about this shooting, when the sitting president said I should "get over" this other shooting? From one perspective, this is clearly bad governance. He's using his free speech rights that generations of us died for, to point out hypocrisy. I'm going to say it, and we'll see if I get arrested for it. Charlie Kirk was one of the useful idiots gr…
There's a large group of people saying that anyone who doesn't accept a guy from a couple thousand years ago into a primary organ in their chest area, that not only do they deserve to die, they will, and then be damned for eternity. Others openly suggest capital punishment for nonviolent crimes. E.g. narco boaters, repeat offenders, homeless (see: Killmeade), drugs etc. In fact, we have no sanctions on Singapore, a l…

Conservatives mostly can get away with anything right now.
There's nothing "conservative" about the fascist movement. It's regressive / reactionary (to use Yarvin's own label).
The comments on this article are horrifying. It's clear people have lost their damn minds.
Reason is a big part of how we got here. Billionaire funded climate denial etc. so they have big audience of idiots they've cultivated.

I looked at the pictures, and even with no context, it was obvious that he was pointing out the hypocrisy of Trump with that meme. Ain't no way people looked at the picture, and genuinely thought "Is he threatening to shoot up the school?" . But then again, there are some incredibly stupid people out there. To me, it mostly seems like manufactured outrage. Someone saw him posting edgy memes, got offended, and called…
I don't think even that happened. Most likely some law enforcement officials sat down at a table for a brainstorming session trying to figure out a pretext to jail this guy.

Self-identified "conservatives" are pushing this wave of censorship and autocracy. You're not helping anyone with those rhetoric tricks.
Are they? MAGA has made it a point to purge the former GOP of conservatives.
